Few of us eat enough fatty fish, walnuts, flax, greens, and
other foods that are rich in this type of fat. Commercial farming also reduces
the natural omega-3 fats that would normally be present in animal meats, eggs,
and vegetables. Eggs from hens that eat insects and green plants for example
are richer in omega-3s than eggs from hens that are fed soy. Worse, most
processed foods are loaded with omega-6 fats from corn or soybean oil.
This imbalance of omega-3s to omega-6s throws off our
delicate metabolic balance, triggering the body to make more pro-inflammatory
substances that raise blood pressure, irritate the GI tract, lower immunity,
and even contribute to weight gain. This contributes to cancer, heart disease,
poor immunity, liver damage, reproductive problems, GI distress, learning
disabilities, and obesity. #CBHealthNY
